The big difference you're not looking at is the memory bandwidth. The M5 Pro has nearly twice the one of the M6:

170GB/s memory bandwidth Configurable up to 32GB unified memory

307GB/s memory bandwidth Configurable up to 64GB unified memory

That is also the factor you want to take into account for AI inference, of course.

you're looking at the wrong device.

- Apple M5 Ultra chip

- 30-core CPU with 10 super cores and 20 performance cores

- 64-core GPU

- Neural Accelerators

- Hardware-accelerated ray tracing

- 32-core Neural Engine

- 1.2TB/s memory bandwidth

one point 2 terrabyte a second memory bandwidth....

512gb coming later this year

but at the cost of a small car
